Surely you can appreciate their musicianship though? even if you dislike them.

No.

The Beatles are a crock of shit.

I feel sorry for you.

Why?!?! :huh:

the beatles are absolute unadulterated perfection. flawless.

I beg to differ on that.

in what regard?

On the statement that you made. I don't think they're 'flawless' at all, OR 'perfection'.

:rolleyes:

:krider:

the musical range, the way they basically invented the nowadays concept of the rock tour, the ceaseless search for new ways, pushing the boundaries of popular music, creating the first concept album, the sheer raw energy of the hamburg days/performances when, as an out and out leathered rock n roll band they played like an orgasm, the influenced just about ALL popular music that came after them, rock n roll is forever indebted to them. they could do schmaltz, music hall, flat out rockers, surf music, ballads, country-tinged songs, blues numbers, just anything. the sense of melody that their songs have no one has been able to reproduce. the VERY idea of two 15 year old kids in liverpool england sitting eating egg and chips and churning out classic numbers in 35 minutes is just mind boggling. just as musicians they are undenyable in their ability to create a tune. John Lennon on his own was just an utter fucking genius (even Johnny Thunders thought so, where'd you think he got the idea for Copycats with Patti Palladin, not that that should inform your opinion) i could go on for absolutely days without food and water praising this band and would not even touch the tip of the iceberg, they were/are the greatest rock n roll band in the world ever. i can understand someone not liking them, them not being to their taste but to say you dont see whats good about them is just something i dont understand well. im not trying to be argumentative cuz as you know i think you're really cool, just curious :)

FINALLY:

(Apple Press release)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

April 7, 2009 Printable Version

The Beatles' Entire Original Recorded Catalogue Remastered By Apple Corps Ltd. And EMI Music For Worldwide Release On September 9, 2009

Apple Corps Ltd. and EMI Music are delighted to announce the release of the original Beatles catalogue, which has been digitally re-mastered for the first time, for worldwide CD release on Wednesday, September 9, 2009 (9-9-09), the same date as the release of the widely anticipated “The Beatles: Rock Band” video game. Each of the CDs is packaged with replicated original UK album art, including expanded booklets containing original and newly written liner notes and rare photos. For a limited period, each CD will also be embedded with a brief documentary film about the album. On the same date, two new Beatles boxed CD collections will also be released.

The albums have been re-mastered by a dedicated team of engineers at EMI’s Abbey Road Studios in London over a four year period utilising state of the art recording technology alongside vintage studio equipment, carefully maintaining the authenticity and integrity of the original analogue recordings. The result of this painstaking process is the highest fidelity the catalogue has seen since its original release.

The collection comprises all 12 Beatles albums in stereo, with track listings and artwork as originally released in the UK, and 'Magical Mystery Tour,' which became part of The Beatles’ core catalogue when the CDs were first released in 1987. In addition, the collections 'Past Masters Vol. I and II' are now combined as one title, for a total of 14 titles over 16 discs. This will mark the first time that the first four Beatles albums will be available in stereo in their entirety on compact disc. These 14 albums, along with a DVD collection of the documentaries, will also be available for purchase together in a stereo boxed set.

Within each CD’s new packaging, booklets include detailed historical notes along with informative recording notes. With the exception of the 'Past Masters' set, newly produced mini-documentaries on the making of each album, directed by Bob Smeaton, are included as QuickTime files on each album. The documentaries contain archival footage, rare photographs and never-before-heard studio chat from The Beatles, offering a unique and very personal insight into the studio atmosphere.

A second boxed set has been created with the collector in mind. 'The Beatles in Mono' gathers together, in one place, all of the Beatles recordings that were mixed for a mono release. It will contain 10 of the albums with their original mono mixes, plus two further discs of mono masters (covering similar ground to the stereo tracks on 'Past Masters'). As an added bonus, the mono “Help!” and “Rubber Soul” discs also include the original 1965 stereo mixes, which have not been previously released on CD. These albums will be packaged in mini-vinyl CD replicas of the original sleeves with all original inserts and label designs retained.

Discussions regarding the digital distribution of the catalogue will continue. There is no further information available at this time.
